REPORT
OF THE
Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor
For the year ending March 1, 1885.
In presenting our annual report to the voters of the town of Palmer, we would say the highways are in very good condition throughout the town, and will average as good as any of our neighboring towns.
BRIDGES.
We have made extensive repairs on the long wooden bridge at Three Rivers the past season ; also, new planked the King and Merrick bridges, besides other repairs on bridges. The present year will necessitate the new planking of the Burleigh bridge ; also, the canal bridge at Three Rivers and the two canal bridges at Thorndike will have to have a thorough overhauling.
The Board sustained a great loss in one of its members, in the death of D. B. Bishop, which was very much felt.
Respectfully submitted,
H. G. LOOMIS, Selectmen JOSEPH KERIGAN, S of Palmer.
